REPORT OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK 
CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION COMMISSION 

To His Excellency, the Hon. Geo. B. Chamberlain 
Governor of the State of Oregon 



5n>^N Me 




N May 30, 1903, an act entitled an act celebrating 
the one hundredth anniversary of the exploration 
of the Oregon Country took effect, providing for 
a commission of eleven members, and for an ex- 
hibit of the resources of the State of Oregon at the 
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, Missouri, and author- 
izing and directing that the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition 
should be held in the City of Portland, commencing May 1, 1905, 
and ending November 1, 1905, and appropriating $500,000 to carry 
out the provisions of the act. 

Said act provided in section 14 that a report should be made 
to you concerning the expenditures and other matters pertaining 
to the work of the Commission created thereunder. I refer you 
more particularly to the record of minutes and detailed statement 
of the expenditures herein submitted by the secretary of this Com- 
mission as to its organization, etc. I submit to you herewith such 
facts and suggestions as may not be included in the report of the 
secretary herein referred to, that credit may be given to the 
proper persons for their services to the Commission and the State. 
As the law prescribed a nonpartisan commission, it was the 
policy of the Commission appointed by you to respect this principle 
through all of its work. The selecting of the help for the St. 
Louis participation was by nomination of the general superin- 
tendent, Mr. W. H. Wehrung, and confirmation by the Commission. 
As to the help at the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, the 
nominations were made by the chairman of the committees for 
whom the help was employed, subject to the confirmation of the 
Commission. I can not speak too highly of the services rendered 
the Commission by the various officials and employees. It would 
be impossible to give an individual account of each, but certainly 



Page five 



^ no commission has ever enjoyed the privilege of being surrounded 

UrCgOn Miliv with as good a lot of employees as this Commission. Am con- 
C»Ottinti$$JOn vlnced of the fact that no political discrimination should ever be 
==^=^^ permitted in any w^ork of exploitation by our State. The Com- 
missioners appointed under this act received no compensation for 
their services, and I desire to state that during the three years 
and more which the Commission has worked there never was a 
regular or special meeting but what at the appointed hour a 
quorum of six members was present. I have given to the Com- 
mission my entire services during its life, finding that it was 
impossible to carry on the great amount of work without being 
in close daily contact therewith. I might suggest that if all State 
officers and commissioners would give as good service as I believe 
this Commission to have given for the purpose for which it was 
created, perhaps it might be better to do away with salaries. 

It was the policy of the Commission to have all meetings open 
to the public and the press, I know no reason why this should 
not be the course of every public board and believe that in the 
work of the Commission the State saved a considerable sum by 
taking the public into its confidence, thus preventing any suspicion 
of combination or graft which might have arisen through the use 
of star-chamber methods. 

Mr. E. C. Giltner, who was selected as secretary of the Com- 
mission, gave his entire time and services to the work until about 
April, 1905, when he was selected as secretary of the Portland 
Chamber of Commerce, after which he gave to the Commission 
about one-half of his time and, upon his own request, his salary 
was reduced one-half. Mr. George 0. Goodall, assistant secretary, 
performed the extra service at a small increase in his salary. Both 
these gentlemen were directly under my observation from day to 
day during all this work, and I can not speak too highly of their 
service. 

We are under obligation to Mr. J. C. Ainsworth, president of 
the United States National Bank, who was the treasurer of the 
Commission, for extending credit and other like services for which 
he received no compensation. 

We are under special obligations to the labor organizations of 
the State and the City of Portland for their loyalty to the Expo- 
sition, and their assistance to the State Commission in securing 
economical construction of the exhibit palaces and their completion 
on time, even at a sacrifice of the interests of organized labor.

The report herewith will include photographs of all buildings 
constructed and prominent exhibits paid for by the State. 

The Commission desires to express to you personally their 
most grateful thanks for your services and help from day to day 
at the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, in the entertain- 
ment of the various distinguished guests and visitors in our city, 
and for the many kind acts of assistance during the entire time 
of their work. 

ST. LOUIS PAETICIPATION. 

The act provided that not to exceed fifty thousand dollars of 
the money therein appropriated should be used to participate in 
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. For the purpose of exploiting 
the resources of our State, and to advertise the Lewis and Clark 
Centennial Exposition, after much consideration by the Commis- 
sion, as to how to obtain the best results, it was decided that 
something unique in the way of advertising should be done at St. 
Louis to attract attention to the Lewis and Clark Centennial Ex- 
position. It was finally decided that to construct a facsimile of 
the building erected by Lewis and Clark on their expedition, out 
of timber grown in the same vicinity, of natural logs, would 
probably better obtain this result than any other method. The 
Commission decided upon this plan and such a building was con- 
structed, the plan being prepared and the material in conformity 
to the plan of the building was prepared ready for said building 
and shipped to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Mr. G. Y. 
Harry, a member of the Commission, was sent East at the expense 
of the Lewis and Clark Exposition Company and superintended 
the construction of the building, which I believe in every way 
obtained for the Lewis and Clark Exposition a great deal of atten- 
tion. I doubt if any sum of money expended for advertising 
resulted in more publicity. I believe some criticism was offered 
as to the class of this building by our own citizens, but I think 
if they had understood the intention of the Commission and the 
purpose for which the building was constructed, they would not 
have placed this criticism against it. 

The building was dedicated on the 15th day of June, 1904, in 
honor of the date on which the treaty was signed between the 
United States and Great Britain, fixing the forty-ninth parallel as 
a boundary line. I herewith submit program of the dedication 
exercises on that day and a copy of the address delivered by the

THE OREGON COUNTRY AND THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 

BY JEFFERSON MYERS. 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 

As the official representative of the Lewis and Clark State Commission 
for the State of Oregon, it becomes my duty to inform you that this is the 
day set apart by the officers of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition for the 
dedication of the Oregon Building, and also the day designated and set apart 
as Oregon Day at this, the greatest exposition ever held in the world. I will 
briefly state some of the history of this great Oregon Country in this 
connection. Our country, which comprises about three hundred and fifty 
thousand square miles, embracing the States of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, 
and part of Montana and Wyoming, came to us by discovery and by the 
diplomatic strategy of our statesmen who acquired it by treaty and saved us 
from another war. It is conceded that the trapper and fur trader were the 
real pioneers who carried the western boundary to the Pacific Coast. They 
led the way for the settler who followed after them. 

In 1792 Captain Gray, on the good ship Columbia, entered the Columbia 
River and gave it the name of his vessel. History states that Spanish 
navigators had become convinced that a great river entered the Pacific Ocean, 
but so far had been unable to locate the exact place. Captain Gray sailed 
only a short distance up the river. On his return home to Boston his report 



Page eight

caused much comment, and a desire to obtain the country for the Union 
spread at once. In 1803 President JeflFerson sent a confidential message to 
Congress asking for a small appropriation, which was granted. As early as 
1783 Jefferson had written a letter to George Rogers Clark, calling attention 
to this vast country, and asking him if he would undertake a trip of explora- 
tion if sufficient funds could be raised by public subscription to carry it on. 

The President, after the appropriation by Congress in 1803, appointed 
Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark as leaders of the 
proposed expedition. They spent the fall and winter of 1803 at Camp Dubois 
in Illinois, on the Mississippi River, a short distance below the Missouri, 
where they made their final preparations for the journey. The expedition 
started from the mouth of the Missouri, not far from where we now stand, 
on the 14th day of May, 1804, with forty-five men, and proceeded up the 
Missouri River. The second winter was spent among the Mandan Indians in 
North Dakota. On April 7, 1805, the expedition left Fort Mandan with 
thirty-one men, one Indian woman, Sacajawea, and her papoose, three months 
old, and resumed the voyage up the Missouri River. They crossed into the 
Oregon Territory on August 12, 1805. On November 7th they reached the 
mouth of the Columbia River on the Pacific Ocean, over 4,000 miles from 
their starting point. 

The explorers passed the winter of 1805-6 in the fortified camp on the 
Oregon side of the Columbia River, near what is now Astoria, Clatsop 
County, Oregon, where Captain Gray had anchored twelve years before, and 
there, during the months of December, 1805, and January, 1806, constructed 
a building, of which this State building is a facsimile, for their winter home. 
The camp was named Fort Clatsop after a tribe of Indians. 

On March 28, 1806, the return journey was begun by the way of the 
Columbia. En route to the ocean the explorers had missed the Willamette 
River. On April 7th Clark started out from the camp to explore, and the 
following day he ascended the Willamette to a point near where the city of 
Portland now stands. In May the explorers left their canoes after the 
journey up the Columbia and thence traveled on horseback across the moun- 
tains, re-embarking on the Missouri in August and reaching St. Louis, 
September 23d, after an absence of two years and four months. 

It is a remarkable fact that they passed through a country unknovra to 
white men and escaped the many dangers of a trip of such vast magnitude, 
over unknown paths, and it is not possible that such was accomplished 
without the kind guidance of an all-wise God to protect them on their journey 
from day to day. 

It is a fact that President Jefferson had transmitted to Congress fully 
three months before he decided to purchase Louisiana his recommendation, 
and that subsequently, when the expedition was being prepared for the trip, 
the Louisiana Purchase was made, thereby giving them a territory theoret- 
ically under the control of the United States to pass through for their entire 
journey. 

In 1810, encouraged by President Jefferson, John Jacob Astor formed a 
fur company with the object of making a settlement at the mouth of the 
Columbia River and developing trade. The company founded Astoria in name

^ " of the promoter and made a beginning for the city at the mouth of this great 

OrCflOlt StdtC river, which now numbers thousands of inhabitants. The enterprise was not 

l^fittltttK^iOtl ^ success for the reason that many enterprises fail, he put in charge a man 

wholly unfitted for the business for which he was selected. Astor, it is said, 

also failed to secure proper support from our government, and an English 
company eventually ousted him from the territory which rightfully belonged 
to this government. In 1812 Congress forbade English traders to carry on 
their business in the territory as far north as parallel 54 degrees 40 minutes, 
the southern boundary of Russia's possession. England, relying on her 
occupation and discovery, claimed the territory. To settle the matter arrange- 
ments were made in 1818 for joint occupation for a term of ten years, both 
nations being authorized to trade within the territory. This agreement was 
renewed in 1827 to extend indefinitely, provided that either party, after 1828, 
could revoke it upon twelve months notice. This was bitterly opposed by 
Senator Benton. The arrangement with England did very well until 1842, 
when the Oregon Question, which for twenty years had been more or less 
before the eyes of statesmen at home and abroad, received public notice in 
President Tyler's message to Congress, December 5, 1842, he stating that 
the Oregon Territory, lying on the Pacific Coast, to which Great Britain was 
laying claim, was beginning to attract the attention of our citizens and that 
population was flowing to this vast district, which stretched from the Rocky 
Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and was depending on the Government to 
settle their respective rights of settlement therein. The Senate passed a bill 
by a majority of one, taking possession of the whole disputed territory in 
the name of the United States. The House refused to concur. The question 
then became political, as might be expected under the circumstances. At the 
presidential election of 1844 it was one of the issues upon which Polk was 
elected, and many of you who are present here today remember the cry of 
"Fifty-four Forty or Fight." The Texas Question was perhaps the main 
issue at that time, but the Oregon Question added greatly to the excitement. 
Statesmen made fiery speeches and the country seemed on the verge of 
another war with Great Britain, but wiser counsel prevailed and on June 
15, 1846, at a convention of the representatives of the two countries, the 
difficulty was settled by a compromise fixing the 49th parallel as the northern 
boundary of the Oregon Country, while Vancouver Island was given to the 
British. Free navigation was granted to both nations, and rights of actual 
possession of land on both sides of the boundary line were to be respected 
by both. 

Great credit is due to Daniel Webster, who was at that time out of 
public life, for his influence in bringing about a peaceable solution of this 
trouble. 

In May, 1843, a provisional government was formed at Champoeg, 
Oregon, with avowed allegiance to the United States, but it was with 
difficulty, for British influence in the country was strong, and at a meeting 
called to form a government the Americans prevailed by a bare majority of 
two. This was accomplished only by a union of the missionaries, the free 
trappers of American nativity, and other elements of pioneer life. Joseph L. 
Meek, a native of Virginia, who had gone in his boyhood to the far west 

Page ten 



and taken up the life of an explorer and trapper, was chief in this effort. 
Few persons in humble life have done more for their country than this 
unlettered Virginia boy. He it was, who at the meeting forced the issue 
and by a majority of but two declared the allegiance of the people of the 
Oregon Country to the United States and prevailed over the English. There 
is at this time living at Champoeg, Marion County, Oregon, Hon. F. X. 
Matthieu, who was present at that meeting, and is the sole survivor of those 
who assisted in securing a government over this territory. When we of 
this generation recall to mind the great and splendid States that have been 
carved out of this territory and consider what a great portion of our domain 
they constitute and the wealth they represent, and remember how but for 
the far-seeing statesmanship of one man they would at one time have passed 
beyond our grasp, we can even now scarcely suppress our feelings. 

There is one circumstance in connection with the Northwest Territory that 
must ever associate it in the minds of the American people with the Louisiana 
Purchase, and that is the fact that both acquisitions are the result of the 
statesmanship of one man. In the world's history there are few examples 
of one man being permitted to serve his country so effectively as was Thomas 
Jefferson. To be the author of the Declaration of Independence was sufficient 
guarantee of immortality, and for this same man to have acquired for this 
country the vast region from the middle of the channel of the Mississippi 
River, across the Rocky Mountains and to the Pacific shores, without being 
compelled to resort to arms or lose a single one of his countrymen by war- 
fare, was again of itself sufficient to enroll his name among the immortals. 

Then, in addition to the services of President Jefferson, Captain Gray, 
Lewis and Clark, John Jacob Astor, and many other noble pioneers, there 
was that splendid assistance of Senators Linn and Benton, two grand old 
pioneers of this great State of Missouri. Had it not been for the war waged 
by these noble men of your State in the Senate, month after month in favor 
of the retention of the Northwest Territory, it is not improbable that the 
statesmanship of Jefferson, the genius of Gray, the hardships of Lewis and 
Clark, and the enterprise of Astor would have been all without avail. The 
State of Missouri has contributed through her people the greatest work and 
the greatest aid in acquiring and holding the Oregon Territory of any State 
in the Union. It is a significant fact that under the jurisdiction of the 
Grand Lodge of your State the first Masonic Lodge was established on the 
Pacific Coast, in Oregon. The State of Massachusetts, through Gray, con- 
tributed her part; New York, through John Jacob Astor, contributed her 
part; Virginia, through the great and good President Jefferson, contributed 
her part; Kentucky, through her hardy sons in the great expedition, con- 
tributed more than her part; but the greatest of all was your part. 

I cannot close this statement without paying due honor to the part 
taken by the little Indian woman, Sacajawea, who, history informs us, 
received no consideration for her services, though the members of the expedi- 
tion when destitute were saved from starvation by her relationship with the 
Indians of the Rocky Mountains. The noble women of the Oregon Country 
are now raising a fund for a monument to the memory of this little heroine 
of the red race, and I trust their efforts may have the support of the 
patriotic people of the United States.

KCPOrl OT IDC jj^ -^905^ jjj ^Yie City of Portland, the citizens of this territory will cele-

We have about seventeen thousand native born Missourians in the State of 
Oregon. I, therefore, take great pleasure in inviting you to be present and 
participate in our Exposition, and meet your old pioneer friends, who left 
the dear old State many years ago with the ox team, and the family in the 
prairie schooner; and assure you that the trip you now make will be filled 
with many more pleasures than the one they made, and the home which will 
receive you on the far Pacific shores will be more inviting than the one which 
presented itself to your old friend who went by prairie schooner in the 
early forties. 

In behalf of the people of my State and the Commission which I have 
the honor to represent, I desire to congratulate the people of Missouri and 
the officers of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition upon the magnificent expo- 
sition which you have erected within your State, and I trust that this, the 
greatest exposition that has ever been held, may receive the patriotic support 
of the people, to which it is justly entitled, and the blessings of Almighty God. 

Now, in behalf of the State of Oregon and the Lewis and Clark Centen- 
nial Exposition Commission, I desire to dedicate this building, a facsimile of 
the first building ever constructed on the Pacific Coast by American citizens, 
to the purpose for which it is intended, a State building for the State of 
Oregon at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and I most cordially invite 
you one and all to partake of the hospitality of this building during the 
whole of this World's Exposition. 

Mr. W. H. Wehrung, general superintendent of the Oregon 
exhibits in St. Louis, had charge of the building, together with 
the officers of the Lewis and Clark Exposition Company, and in 
reference to the popularity of the building and its value as an 
advertising medium for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, I would 
refer you to his report. Hon. Frank Williams, a member of the 
Commission, was sent East by the Lewis and Clark Exposition 
Company and remained during the Louisiana Purchase Exposition 
for special work in the various exhibits and in the Oregon Build- 
ing, advertising the Lewis and Clark Exposition and the State of 
Oregon. His experience in this line of work enabled him to give 
splendid service. 

The Oregon exhibits were placed in various exposition build- 
ings at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and I feel satisfied that 
the State did not receive from these exhibits the amount of good 
that it should, or that it would if they had been placed under the 
roof of Oregon's own State building, and I therefore would suggest 
that no appropriation hereafter be made without a provision that 
if the State can construct a building, its exhibits shall be placed 
within said building, and be entitled to compete for all medals. It

is much easier to insist upon a change of rules at an exposition, 
if such is desirable and just, and a great saving can be made 
from the fund by this method in preference to that of distributing 
exhibits all over the grounds, which creates extra expenses for 
garbage, telephone, janitors, and many other little incidentals. 

I would refer you to the secretary's report for detailed state- 
ment of the awards, medals, etc., received at St. Louis, and in 
behalf of the Commission and the people of this State, I desire to 
thank Hon. D. R. Francis, president of the Louisiana Purchase 
Exposition, and Hon. Thomas H. Carter, president of the National 
Commission for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, for their ex- 
treme kindness and generosity in assisting this Commission in 
every possible way to exploit the resources of Oregon and to place 
before the country the importance of the Lewis and Clark Expo- 
sition. 

I desire to thank Hon. George W. McBride, member of the 
National Commission; Mrs. J. B. Montgomery, member of the 
National Commission; Mrs. George W. McBride, Mrs. W. H. 
Wehrung, and many others for their extreme kindness and assist- 
ance during the dedication of the Oregon Building and many of 
the notable social events which occurred during the Louisiana 
Purchase Exposition. 

THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION. 

The Lewis and Clark Exposition was held jointly, under the 
authorization of the act creating this Commission, by the Commis- 
sion and the Lewis and Clark Exposition Corporation. The money 
expended by the two departments amounted to about four hundred 
thousand dollars each, the State appropriating that expended by 
the Commission, while the stockholders of the Corporation sub- 
scribed about an equal amount. The proceeds from the Exposition 
were expended entirely under the direction of the Corporation. 
The Government of the United States appropriated $475,000 and 
about an equal value in exhibits. Various States made liberal 
appropriations, the exact amounts of which I am unable to give. 

The management of the Exposition jointly by the State and 
Corporation was, to a certain extent, quite satisfactory, but with 
the exception that it became difficult at times to determine just 
what was intended by the provisions of the act creating this Com- 
mission; and I might suggest that it is a matter of considerable 
importance that an act of this kind should be so drawn that no

^ difficulty may be had in determining just what the language 

UrCyOn >I(lu intends. I believe the principle of the authorization of the Ex- 
C>Oniini$$iOn position by the State is the right one. The people of the State 
^=== feel a certain responsibility, and public sentiment will prevent any 
unreasonable conditions. There has never been a complaint re- 
ceived by me or any member or officer of the Commission from 
any visitor criticising the people of Oregon in the management 
of the Exposition, as to overcharges or any other unreasonable 
matter.

(Centennial 
Exposition 



ADDRESS OF JEFFERSON MYERS. 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

In 1903 a bill for an act was introduced in the Legislative Assembly of 
the State of Oregon to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the 
exploration of the Oregon Country by Captains Meriwether Lewis and William 
Clark. By this bill, which was passed with remarkable unanimity, a commis- 
sion of eleven members was created to be known and designated as "The 
Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition Commission," to represent the State of 
Oregon and to expend the large sum of money appropriated from the public 
treasury to carry out the provisions of the act, and to assist in preparing 
for this Centennial Exposition. 

As the official representative of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Expo- 
sition Commission, I deem it proper at this time to give you some information 
as to what part the State of Oregon has taken in behalf of this great 
enterprise through its Commission. In determining the work to be done by 
the Corporation and the Commission, the construction of the buildings was 
selected as the State's part. We have, therefore, built upon the Exposition 
Grounds the following buildings: The Forestry Building, Foreign Exhibits 
Building, Oriental and Educational Building, Agricultural and Horticultural 
Building, Mineral Building, Machinery, Electricity and Transportation Build- 
ing, Auditorium, Fire Department, Administration Building, Colonnade En- 
trance, and the Oregon State Building. These buildings have been constructed 
at a cost of about $325,000. 

In addition to the construction of these buildings, the Commission 
expended $50,000 at the Louisana Purchase Exposition, and has spent about 
$100,000 in the following exhibits: In the Forestry Building is an exhibit 
of the woods and of the fish and game of the State. In the Oriental and 
Educational Building is an exhibit of the various educational departments of 
the State. In the Agricultural and Horticultural Building we have an exhibit 
of agriculture and horticulture, and in addition have solicited and raised 
throughout the State the sum of over $100,000 for the preparation of county 
exhibits, and as a result there are now installed in this building exhibits from 
twenty-four of the thirty-three counties of Oregon. Coos County, which is 
125 miles from the railroad, has constructed its own county building at an 
expense of nearly $20,000. This county alone has contributed as her part 
of the Exposition a sum of over $30,000, and I can not think that such a 
display of enthusiasm has ever been equalled by a county at any exposition 
in our country. These county exhibits will be of a most interesting character

l\CP9ri VJI lv\ £qj. q^j. yisitors to examine. They will give an opportunity to obtain informa- 
OrC0Otl StdtC tion in reference to the interior of the State directly from residents therein. 

There is an exhibit in the Mineral Building which will be of interest to 
visitors, demonstrating as it does that there is no limit to the kinds of 
mineral to be found in this Northwest Country. The development at present 
is very limited and I do not believe a more inviting field for the investor 
and prospector can be found in the United States. I trust that our visitors 
interested in this industry will give careful consideration to these matters. 

All of the plans and specifications of the buildings herein mentioned 
were prepared by residents of our own State. The Superintendent of 
Construction is an old resident and contractor. The Lewis and Clark 
Exposition is built by Western men and upon Western ideas. 

It will be our policy to extend to every visitor every facility we can to 
give him information and to prohibit any unreasonable charges or conditions 
while he may be in our midst. We invite you to visit the interior of our 
State after examining the exhibits, and convince yourself that we have not 
placed the very best on exhibition, but are only giving you an opportunity 
to see what we are actually producing. We hope that the impressions that 
you may form will be lasting and that many of you may become residents 
and home builders in our midst. 

This Exposition was projected with the broad idea of calling attention to 
the great Pacific Coast. We believe that we have abundance of industries 
that today are undeveloped, and that it is impossible with our small popula- 
tion and our enormous area to develop without assistance from the over- 
crowded portions of the country. We are not a selfish people and our object 
is not to deprive other portions of the United States of population, but to 
offer from the surplus which we now have homes of peace and plenty to the 
people from the over-crowded portions of the country. 

The part that the State of Oregon has taken in this Exposition must 
undoubtedly remove any question as to the generosity of the government under 
which the people of Oregon are living. Our State has no liabilities of any 
kind. Our taxes are reasonable, our laws are good, our schools are free, our 
public institutions are maintained upon a high standard of humanity. With 
all these advantages for our people there is no reason why our State should 
not receive from the impression produced upon the visitor the great benefit 
which we anticipate, if our own people will do one-half as well as their 
government. 

Now I trust that we may have the blessing of Almighty God on this 
great enterprise, and that the kindness and consideration of a generous public 
will overlook any little difficulties and shortcomings that they may observe, 
giving due credit to the men who have assisted in its building; and that a 
most pleasant recollection may long linger in the minds of all who visit the 
Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition. 

Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Lewis and Clark Centennial 
Exposition Commission, and in the name of the State of Oregon, I bid you 
a most hearty welcome.

Perhaps the most important part of the work performed by 
this Commission in the matter of exhibits was in obtaining the 
help from the various counties throughout the State. There is 
no question but the county exhibits of Oregon, as a whole, were 
superior to anything of the kind ever had at a similar exposition. 
The result of these various exhibits will bring to the counties and 
to their State a vast amount of advertising for many years. The 
county officers composing the county courts of these counties are 
entitled to special mention for the efforts made by them in securing 
the products of their counties to that end ; and the superintendents 
of these county exhibits were among the very best citizens of our 
State. They thoroughly understood and explained the various 
products of their counties to inquiring visitors, and if I were asked 
to-day to designate who among them was the best and ablest man, 
it would be a very difficult problem, for I consider each an enthusi- 
astic and intelligent supporter of his State and ever and always 
ready to explain his particular product in a most intelligent way. 

This Commission, in addition to these county exhibits, had 
arranged various other exhibits of the resources of the State. For 
further information I refer you to the report of the secretary. 
In the matter of the construction of the buildings, which are here- 
with illustrated by photographs, as to the cost and expense, I 
refer you to the report of the secretary. 

In reference to the Memorial Building, provided for by the 
act, Messrs. F. G. Young and J. H. Albert, members of the Com- 
mission, devoted much time endeavoring to obtain this building 
and carry out the provisions of the act in regard to it. The 
Commission repeatedly asked that this section of the act be com- 
plied with. I refer you for further information in reference to 
this, to reports from Messrs. Albert and Young, which I have 
requested them to make. 

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PARTICIPATION. 

The Government of the United States, from their appropri- 
ation, constructed a magnificent building, and a number of smaller 
buildings surrounding it, in which they placed one of the finest 
exhibits of the various departments of the Government that could 
be had. The result of this exhibit by the Government of the 
United States was in itself a wonderful education to the people 
of the Western States and many of our visitors. Mr. William M. 
Geddes, custodian of the building, is an old exposition man, having 



Cewis i (^larK

exposition 



Page seveateea 



^ ^ been through practically all of the expositions prior to this as 

UrCdOtl MAlC representative of the Government, and to him we are under many 
C>0tt1ttli$$i0lt obligations for assistance and suggestions towards the success of 
1^=:^== the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The various departments repre- 
sented by the Government were in control of experts and to each 
of them and the employees, the people of Oregon and this Com- 
mission feel deeply indebted for their many acts of kindness and 
information. 

PARTICIPATION OF STATES. 

The following States were represented by commissions and 
most of them constructed buildings in which they placed their 
exhibits, while others obtained space in buildings erected by this 
Commission: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Louisi- 
ana, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New 
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. 
It would be impossible to pay to each of the officers of these States 
the debt of gratitude which we owe them for their valuable 
services, but I feel that not one of them would complain if I 
should say something in reference to the three States surrounding 
Oregon: Idaho, Washington, and California. No State ever 
received more help and consideration from her family group than 
the State of Oregon did from these three neighboring States. 
Governor George C. Pardee, of California, Governor A. E. Meade, 
of Washington, and Governor Frank R. Gooding, of Idaho, were 
visitors many times to the Exposition, doing everything they could 
to assist in making a success of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. 
To them and to the people of their States the people of Oregon 
owe perhaps the deepest debt of gratitude. 

THE PRESS. 

To the press in general throughout the United States the 
Lewis and Clark Exposition owes a debt of gratitude, and especi- 
ally to the press of our own State. I doubt if ever any other 
public enterprise received so much free advertising as was granted 
to this enterprise. There was not a member of this profession 
within our State who was not ready and anxious to do everything 
in his power to make a success of the Exposition, and I do not 
believe that it would have been possible to have obtained the large 
appropriation and to have aroused the enthusiasm of the people to 
subscribe so largely and generously to this enterprise had it not 
been for the press of our State, which is ever progressive and 



Page eighteen 



considerate of future benefits for our country. This Commission 
extends to the press of Oregon personal thanks for the extreme 
courtesy and kindness displayed by it during all the Commis- 
sion's work. 

TRANSPORTATION. 

This Commission is under many obligations towards the 
olficers of the railroad and steamship lines of our State. The 
saving in freight and passenger fares which were donated by 
them to the Commission will exceed six thousand dollars. Mr. A. 
L. Craig, of the 0. R. & N. Co. and the Southern Pacific lines of 
Oregon, and Mr. A. D. Charlton, of the Northern Pacific lines in 
Portland, are entitled to special mention for their assistance in 
obtaining free passenger rates for the work within the State, and 
fourteen free tickets for the help at St. Louis. Mr. R. B. Miller, 
of the freight department of the O. R. & N. Co., is entitled to 
special thanks for assistance in granting extremely low and many 
free freight rates for transportation of Oregon exhibits. To the 
general manager of the Harriman Lines of Oregon, Mr. A. L. 
Mohler, Mr. E. E. Calvin, Mr. Worthington, and Mr. J. P. O'Brien, 
we are under special obligations for advice and assistance at all 
times in the matter of transportation. To the Sumpter Valley 
Railroad, Columbia Southern Railway, Coos Bay and Eastern 
Railroad, Corvallis and Eastern, Astoria and Columbia River 
Railroad we are under special obligations for the service rendered 
free to the State in passenger and freight transportation, and to 
many other steamboat lines and various other public carriers we 
are under obligation, and I might state that no request was ever 
made in behalf of the State from any of the public carriers within 
our State, but what it has been granted without the least trouble 
or annoyance or delay in any way. The wonderful results at- 
tained by this Exposition in every department were occasioned by 
that true principle of patriotism which determined the people of 
our State in every capacity to make it one grand success, and 
hence the success of the Lewis and Clark Exposition is due to the 
conduct of no man or set of men and officials, but solely to the 
loyalty of the people of Oregon and the Northwest States, who 
were every ready to back up their officials in everything possible 
to arrive at this end.

TO THE OREGON STATE OFFICIALS AND OTHERS. 

We are under many obligations for the acts of courtesy ex- 
tended to this Commission by the various State officers, and 
especially to the Attorney General, who was ever kind and oblig- 
ing, and rendered us every service he possibly could. The difficulty 
in construing the act creating the Commission made necessary a 
number of quite lengthy opinions from his office, and he was ever 
ready and prompt to deliver them. 

To the Secretary of State we are under obligations for the 
many acts of courtesy in furnishing duplicates of the act, and in 
other matters connected with the Comm.ission. 

To the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Advisory 
Educational Committee we are under obligations for much valuable 
service in helping to arrange and prepare the educational exhibit 
for the State, and to them, in conjunction with the educational 
committee of the Commission, great credit is due for this splendid 
exhibit. 

To the members of the forestry committee of the Commission, 
and the various lumbermen throughout the State who prepared 
exhibits, we are deeply indebted for valuable assistance in obtain- 
ing the splendid forestry exhibit, which, with the Forestry Build- 
ing, was perhaps the greatest exhibit of its kind ever had at 
any exposition. 

The Commission is under obligations to all of the officers of 
the Corporation and their assistants and employees for many acts 
of kindness and consideration while associating with them in this 
enterprise, and I regret that space will not permit me to give 
the individual recognition to which they are entitled for the work 
performed by them in their various departments. Mr. F. I. Fuller, 
president of the Consolidated Railway Lines of Portland, and all 
of his assistants, motormen, and conductors are entitled to the 
thanks and consideration of every visitor to the Exposition, and 
every citizen of the State of Oregon for their extreme courtesy 
and kind treatment of the visitors, and care of passengers in 
transit on their lines, which, I am reliably informed, did not have 
a single accident of any importance during the whole of the 
Exposition. In concluding this paragraph, I desire to state that 
we are under obligations to many citizens throughout the State 
for helping in the various exhibit departments, and I regret that

GENERAL ATTENDANCE. 

It is estimated that about 135,000 people from the Eastern 
States attended the Exposition. The total number of paid ad- 
missions during the Fair was approximately 1,560,000, estimated 
at about forty-five cents each. (Receipts from other sources 
amounted to about a like sum.) The free admissions amounted 
to 900,000, making a total admission of 2,460,000. 

SALES AND DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY. 

At the close of the Exposition all of the buildings erected by 
the Commission were disposed of, as the act provided. The fact 
that the lease on the ground expired in a very short time after 
the closing of the Exposition made it almost impossible to obtain 
for this property what it seems it should have sold for. The 
Commission submitted the property first to the State officials to 
select from it any material which they might need in any of the 
State departments. All of the plumbing and some of the glass 
and other material of the buildings was selected by them and 
forwarded to Salem. All the furniture in the various buildings 
and a part of the exhibits was sent to the Secretary of State. A 
part of the exhibits and other property was loaned to the Agricul- 
tural Board and the Chamber of Commerce of Portland and other 
associations. The balance of the property was sold and disposed 
of and the money paid to the Treasurer. Detailed accounts of all 
these transactions are made a part of the secretary's report. 

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS. 

The effect of the Lewis and Clark Exposition can not but be 
one of great value to the State of Oregon and to every Pacific 
Coast State. It brought to our Pacific shores over one hundred 
and thirty-five thousand people from east of the Missouri River 
during the year 1905. The acquaintances formed by visitors, and 
the knowledge gained through these expositions makes them 
among the greatest schools of progress that are now developing 
this country. There seems to be no limit to this method of ex- 
ploitation, and I doubt if a more effective one could be had. I 
might suggest that it certainly appears that no exposition should 
ever expend the vast sum of money necessary for its construction 



Page twenty-one 



^ "^ without procuring title to the land upon which it is built, and that 

UrC90n 4>l(llC all buildings and equipments should be constructed on such a 

(^OttltniSSiOtl substantial basis that they might be used at the close of the ex- 

=^=== position for such public purpose as would render most benefit to 
the people of the particular city or State wherein it is held. I do 
not believe that as much good is obtained directly from a good 
collection of exhibits as there is from the direct intercourse and 
acquaintanceship of the various persons visiting these expositions, 
and I do not suggest an extremely large exhibit from a State at 
an exposition, but that the most attractive and interesting of 
what is possessed be put forward. There is, no doubt, the benefit 
which accrues through the exhibitor who is lucky enough to receive 
an award for his products, for this has a tendency to increase his 
enthusiasm and stimulate him to do better, and therefore is apt to 
improve methods in his community. I do not advocate extravagant 
appropriations, but by all means provide a suitable entertainment 
fund and enough for other incidentals necessary to place your 
State on a par with others, that it may receive proper considera- 
tion for its expenditure in the various departments. 

PUBLICATIONS. 

This is a matter of great importance, as much money is being 
spent in a wasteful manner and for material which does no good. 
After investigation at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition I am of 
the opinion that an advertising publication should consist of a 
limited number of essential facts that can not be disputed, well 
illustrated, not over sixty-five pages in length, and of a size that 
can easily be carried in the pocket. I found that large books as 
a rule are not carried far from the place where they are obtained, 
but become a burden and are cast aside, while the smaller ones 
are usually carried home if made reasonably attractive. More 
money is wasted by States in this item than for anything else for 
which appropriations are used. 

STATE PARTICIPATION IN PROFITS. 

At the close of the Exposition the Commission made a written 
demand on the proper officials of the Corporation for an account- 
ing and its share of the profits in proportion to the capital invested 
in the Exposition. These officials refused to comply and the 
matter was referred to the Attorney General of the State, who 
decided that the legal right of the State to such accounting and

participation was in doubt under the act. While I would not "^ ^ 

contend that the State can collect this, I am quite certain that if f6<ntCnnial 
such question had arisen at the time of the enactment of the law EXPOSitJOtl 

a definite provision would have been made to that effect. The ^==^== 
principle is right and was established at the Chicago Exposition, 
and I think that the State of Oregon should have received its part 
of the profits from the Lewis and Clark Exposition, in proportion 
to its expenditures.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE 
LEWIS AND CLARK STATE COMMISSION

The organization of the Commission was completed at this 
meeting by the election of Mr, J. C. Havely as secretary and the 
United States National Bank, of Portland, Oregon, as treasurer. 
On June 6, 1903, Mr, Havely resigned the office of secretary, and 
Mr. E, C. Giltner was elected. 

The act creating the Commission, in addition to the Lewis and 
Clark Exposition, required the making of a complete exhibit at 
St. Louis and such work was begun at a meeting held June 13, 
1903, by an allotment of the $50,000 set apart by the act for such 
exhibit. 

In accordance with a report of the ways and means committee 
at this same meeting, Mr. George 0. Goodall was elected assistant 
secretary, stenographer and typewriter. 

The real work which prepared the exhibit for St. Louis was 
begun by the election of W. H. Wehrung, of Hillsboro, as general 
superintendent, and J. R. Douglas, of Albany, superintendent of 
agriculture; J. D. Olwell, of Central Point, superintendent of 
horticulture; M. D. Wisdom, superintendent of live stock; F. R. 
Mellis, superintendent of mines and mining; George T. Myers, Jr., 
superintendent of fish and fisheries; H. S. Lyman, superintendent 
of education, and Edmund P. Sheldon, superintendent of forestry. 
At a meeting held September 11, 1903, it was decided to erect a 
building at St. Louis, to be made as nearly as possible a facsimile 
of Fort Clatsop, which building was erected at a cost of $8,987.14 
and was used not only as a home for Oregonians visiting the Ex- 
position but as an office for the superintendents, and as head- 
quarters for the Division of Exploitation of the Lewis and Clark 
Exposition, which Corporation contributed $3,500 towards its 
construction and maintenance. 

In September, 1903, the Commission purchased what is known 
as the "Johnson Collection of Oregon Woods" at a cost of $700, 
which collection had won prizes at all the large expositions held 
in recent years, and which was augmented for the exhibit at St.

^ Louis by a large exhibit of woods and manufactured products 

UrCdOtt 5WlC thereof, all of which is now the property of the State of Oregon, 

C>Otllttli$$iOtt a small portion of which is on exhibition in the Portland Chamber 

===== of Commerce, and the balance in the Forestry Building at the 

Lewis and Clark Exposition Grounds and at the Capitol at Salem, 

Oregon. 

Oregon's exhibits at St. Louis were made in six different de- 
partments — no exhibits being contained in the Oregon Building. 
We were awarded in medals and prizes, a grand prize on grains 
and grasses, grand prize on fruit for the State of Oregon, grand 
prize on fruit for Wasco County, 67 gold medals, 142 silver medals, 
and 72 bronze medals, making a total of 294 medals and prizes, 
which, considering the limited amount of our funds and the 
amount necessarily expended for headquarters, compares favorably 
with other States. 

In the live stock department Oregon took a total of 50 prizes, 
making a grand total of 344 prizes for this State. 

A detailed and specific statement of the St. Louis exhibit, 
prizes taken, and general conjectured effect of our exhibit there, 
is contained in the report of Supterintendent W. H. Wehrung, filed 
with the Secretary of State. 

Of the $50,000 set apart for the exhibit at St. Louis $49,557.70 
was expended, which expenditures were divided under the heads 
and in amounts as follows: 

Salaries of superintendents and assistants $4,556.80 

Agricultural exhibit 8,112.49 

Horticultural exhibit 6,492.04 

Educational exhibit 3,892.68 

Forestry exhibit 3,529.84 

Mining exhibit 5,308.18 

Fish and Game exhibit 2,337.58 

Oregon Building 9,078.99 

Freights and transfers 5,211.98 

Incidentals 1,037.12 

This total is larger than shown by the report of the superin- 
tendent for the reason that some expenses were incurred and paid 
for shipping exhibits home, and other matters incident to the 
closing of the exhibit subsequent to Mr. Wehrung's resignation 
at the practical completion of his duties. 

In addition to the regular superintendents in charge of their 
respective departments, Mr. Frank Williams had charge of the 

Page thirty 



Oregon Building. Other additions and changes were made in the 
personnel of the force at St. Louis at different times, and a com- 
plete roster of the employees can be found in the abstract of war- 
rants at the end of this report, giving names, what department 
employed in, and salary. 

PUBLICATIONS. 

The Commission, in addition to making an exhibit at St. 
Louis, had compiled, printed and distributed books on Oregon as 
follows: An edition of 15,000 copies of a book on "Forestry," 
written by E. P. Sheldon. An edition of 50,000 copies each of a 
book entitled "Horticulture," written by Col. Henry E. Dosch; 
"Mines and Minerals," by Col. J. H. Fisk, including an article on 
"Fish and Game of Oregon," by A. E. Gebhardt, and "Farm, 
Ranch, and Range," by Wallis Nash. A copy of each publication 
is sent with this report as a part thereof to be filed. 

LEWIS AND CLAEK EXPOSITION BUILDINGS. 

Plans and specifications were submitted in accordance with 
law, by the Lewis and Clark Corporation, for structures for the 
use of the Exposition, designated as the State's Building, The 
Liberal Arts Building, Festival Hall, Forestry Building, Adminis- 
tration Group, and bridge superstructure, which plans and speci- 
fications were approved and bids asked by advertisement in both 
local and outside publications. The Commission appointed Mr. F. 
A. Erixon, of Salem, superintendent of construction at this time, 
which office he held until the completion of all the buildings con- 
structed by them. Bids were submitted and opened March 23, 
1904, and the contracts awarded for the structures to the persons 
and firms and for the amounts as shown in the following table : 

Festival Hall, Burrell Construction Co. $55,425.00 

Forestry Building, Burrell Construction Co 14,552.00 

Administration Group, J. E. Bennett 26,000.00 

State's Building, J. E. Bennett 69,130.60 

Liberal Arts Building, Robert Wakefield 51,720.00 

No bids were taken for the bridge superstructure, the Com- 
mission having decided to allow such work to be done by the 
Corporation. These bids were accepted for the buildings complete 
with the exception of wiring for electricity and lighting fixtures, 
that part of the contract to be attended to by the Corporation also.

KCPOri OT \m Q^ September 20, 1904, bids were taken for additional build- 

Ui CgOn MdiC ings for which plans and specifications were submitted as in the 
f^OtttmiSSlOn first instance, and contracts awarded as follows: 



Machinery, Electi'icity and Transportation Building, Burrell Con- 
struction Co $28,540.00 

Mining Building, Burrell Construction Co 14,370.00 

Auditorium, E. A. Lynds 12,534.65 

On December 10, 1904, bids were received for an "Oregon 
Building" upon plans and specifications furnished as above, such 
building to be used as an office for the Commission and a rest, a 
place of assembly for celebrations by cities and counties, and a 
general place of entertainment, and reunion, and the upper floor 
of which was set apart exclusively for the use of women. The 
contract was let to E. A. Lynds for $9,270. 

The difference in the contract price and the actual price paid 
for buildings, as caused by extras and changes made after the 
letting of bids, is shown in the table of expenditures at the end of 
this report, which table shows the actual price paid for each. 

The large difference in the contract price, $14,552, and the 
price paid, $30,288.83, for the Forestry Building was because the 
logs were furnished on the building site by the Commission, it 
being necessary to have them cut in the winter while the sap was 
down to insure the bark remaining on, and also in order to float 
them to the site during the high water. 

Photographs of all buildings, interior and exterior views, are 
made a part of this report, and dimensions are shown accurately 
upon plans now on file in the office of the Secretary of State and 
made a part of the records of such office. Approximately dimen- 
sions were as follows: 

Contract Name. Name used during Fair. Size. 

Forestry Building Same 206 x 100 

Festival Hall, No. 1 Oriental and Educational 308x160 

State's Building Agricultural 460 x 210

EXHIBITS. 

Preparations for exhibiting Oregon's products were made by 
the pre-exposition superintendents as follows : 

R. F. Robinson, superintendent of Education. 

E. P. Sheldon, superintendent of Forestry, Fish and Game. 

Chas. V. Galloway, superintendent of Horticulture. 

Such of the exhibits returned from St. Louis as were fit were 
taken as a nucleus and active canvass made for additions. 

The Commission, by resolution, offered each county in the 
State a cash payment of one-half of the amount actually shown by 
them as expended for a collective exhibit of their resources, such 
payment to any one county not to exceed $500, and in addition 
offered cash prizes as follows : $1,000, $500, $300, and $200, to be 
paid to the four counties scoring the highest point in the exhibits 
to be made, no county to be considered a competitor unless having 
a representative in charge during the Exposition period. These 
sums were distributed in accordance with the report of a jury 
appointed by the Commission and composed of Senator Wilson H. 
Fairbanks, of Massachusetts, as chairman ; Hon. Martin J. Wessels, 
of Idaho ; Hon. J. A. Filcher, of California ; Hon. W. N. Steele, of 
North Dakota, and Hon. Charles Camp, of Wyoming, and the 
findings of such jury are contained in a report filed amongst the 
records of the Commission, the amounts being shown in the ab- 
stract of warrants issued. 

By the foregoing plan a complete exhibit was made of 
Oregon's resources, twenty-three counties taking advantage of such 
offer. The county exhibits were supervised in their installation 
by the general superintendent, Mr. Charles V. Galloway, both as to 
arrangement, style of installation and location, and were aug- 
mented by complete exhibits made by the Commission for the 
State in forestry, fish and game, education, agriculture, horticul- 
ture, and mining, each locality always being given full credit. The 
lists of officers and their respective titles and salaries will also be 
found in the abstract of warrants following. 

Mrs. Annice Jeffreys-Myers was elected hostess of the Oregon 
Building, and together with the officers and members of the Com- 
mission, made this building the headquarters for rest, information 
and entertaining. The exhibits are best described by pictures, 
and a picture of each and every exhibit made directly and in-

Oregon State forwarded herewith. 

BEAVER COINS. 



The directions of the Legislature regarding the making and 
disposal of facsimiles of the beaver coin of Oregon, and other 
medals, could not be carried out because of the Statutes of the 
General Government prohibiting such medals, the matter having 
been submitted to the Treasury Department before taking action. 

MEMORIAL BUILDING. 

Section 7 of the act creating the Commission authorized it to 
construct a building to be known as the "Lewis and Clark Memo- 
rial Building," designating for such purpose not to exceed $50,000, 
provided the Lewis and Clark Centennial and American Pacific 
Exposition and Oriental Fair shall appropriate towards the con- 
struction of such building at least $50,000, and a site therefor shall 
have first been conveyed, donated or dedicated to the State of 
Oregon in trust therefor, and maintenance guaranteed by the City 
of Portland. In accordance with this section the Commission 
notified the Corporation of its readiness to act in the construction 
of such building August 8, 1903. October 10, 1903, the Commis- 
sion, by resolution, set aside the $50,000 so appropriated, stating 
that such amount be used for the purpose specified only. Further 
notifications and requests were made by the Commission of the 
Corporation for the compliance with said section of law, but no 
action ever being taken by the Corporation of which the Commis- 
sion had notice tending towards the appropriation of $50,000, or 
any other sum for such purpose, this amount remained in the 
State treasury unusued, 

STANDING COMMITTEES. 

The standing committees were changed September 10, 1904, 
and were as follows, this arrangement remaining unchanged until 
the close of the Fair: 

Press and Publicity. — Conser, Spencer, and RafFety. 
Agriculture. — Williams, Scott, and Raffety. 
Horticulture. — Harry, Albert, and Conser. 
Live Stock. — Scott, Conser, and Harry. 
Mines and Mining. — Flanders, Harry, and Williams. 
Manufactures and Liberal Arts. — Thomas, Spencer, and Young.

ment and the total and final cost of each building, including addi- 
tions and deductions.

A duplicate of each and every voucher, the original of which 
was sent to the Secretary of State for payment. 

A copy of each book published by the Commission. 

The report of W. H. Wehrung, general superintendent, at 
St. Louis. 

Owing to the nature of the work of the Commission no in- 
ventory of property was kept, it being impossible at an exposition 
to prevent the taking of articles for souvenirs, and it being the 
custom at all such fairs to give away both articles of exhibit and 
other articles for the purpose of advertising the resources of the 
State. Also owing to the small office force to handle such a volume 
of business. The property of the Commission was sold only under 
orders of a committee appointed by the Commission, and all 
property not sold, loaned to State and public institutions, broken, 
given away as part of the scheme of advertising, has been re- 
turned to the State, and receipts were filed. 

The complete minutes, setting forth in detail the acts of the 
Commission, contracts with employees, contracts with builders, 
opinions of the Attorney General on matters not clear to the Com- 
mission, and finally all correspondence connected with the work of 
the Exposition from its organization to the close of its work is 
respectfully submitted herewith.

Total $447,683.00 

Balance unused from total appropriation 52,317.00 

The following sums in cash were received for sales of prop-

Shipped to Secretary of State for storage, property valued at 1,800.00 

Shipped to Secretary of State additional property valued at 1,350.00 

Shipped to Insane Asylum at Salem, property valued at 6,220.96 

Shipped to Oregon State Board of Agriculture, property valued at... 6,000.00 
Turned over to City, under act authorizing it, Forestry Building, 

costing and valued at 30,288.83

Balance on hand for ineidentals 12.61 

Total cash receipts for sales, etc 7,921.71 

Total value of cash and property remaining..... 116,170.10 

The difference which will appear between the amount unused, 
viz: $52,317, and the amount as shown by the Secretary of State's 
publication, $47,317, is accounted for by reason of an act appro- 
priating $5,000 for entertainment purposes which was ordered to 
be paid to the president by the Secretary of State and never went 
through the auditing committee of the Commission. Of this 
$5,000 the president returned to the Treasurer $3,623.50 unusued. 
And although this amount can not be returned to the Lewis and 
Clark fund direct, taking it into account, the Commission lack 
$940,50 of expending the total amount appropriated, leaving intact 
the $50,000 for the Memorial Fund. 

Respectfully submitted, 

E, C. GiLTNER, 

Secretary. 

SUPPLEMENTAL. 

Since the completion of the above report some bills have come 
in and have been paid, which would add a small sum to the totals 
as set forth in the schedules. These would add the following 
amounts; to Commissioners' expenses $11.00, Charities and Cor- 
rections $19.75, Horticulture $34.00, and to the Incidental Fund 
$261.51. These sums would make the total amount expended at 
Portland $398,374.20, which, added to the amount expended at 
St. Louis, viz., $49,557.70, makes the grand total expended out of 
the appropriation $447,931.90, leaving a balance unexpended of 
the appropriation of $52,068.10.

REPORT OF LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE 
LEWIS AND CLARK STATE COMMISSION 



Salem, Oregon, February 14, 1905. 

To the Honorable Senate and House of the Legislature of the State of Oregon : 

We, your joint committee appointed under Senate Concurrent Resolution 
No. 19, to investigate the accounts, management, and affairs of the commission 
appointed to supervise the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, beg leave 
to submit the following: 

Your committee proceeded to Portland on Saturday, February 4, 1905, 
and made a careful examination of the buildings, grounds, and offices of the 
Exposition, and find that the buildings are completed, or nearing completion, 
except as stated below. 

We consider the laying out of the Exposition grounds as nearly perfect 
as could be obtained. Built with a view to compactness without crowding, 
there are no long miles of walks to weary the limbs, and no tiresome vistas 
to weary the eye. The whole Exposition may be seen and easily compre- 
hended within the time and means of the average person. 

For natural beauty of environment the Lewis and Clark Exposition has 
no rival in earlier fairs. The Exposition structures, gleaming ivory white in 
their coats of ornamental staff, nestle among the trees at the top of a slight 
elevation overlooking Guild's Lake and the Willamette River, while in the 
distance four snow-capped peaks lift their hoary heads above the horizon. 
Nature has done much for the fair, and man has taken advantage of each 
opportunity offered by nature. The buildings are architectural triumphs, and 
are well designed for the various purposes to which they will be dedicated. 
The grounds pay tribute to the skill of the landscape gardener. 

We have carefully examined the minutes of the proceedings of the Com- 
mission, and find that all matters of importance have been referred to the 
board and acted upon by them with an attention to detail that deserves great 
commendation. Mr. Jefferson Myers, the president of the Commission, has 
given his entire time to the management and work of the Commission from 
the first day of June, 1903, to the present time. As under the act creating the 
Commission he can not receive compensation, he has not received one dollar 
for his services, though it is evident to us that he has been as faithful in 
attention to the duties of his office as if he had been in receipt of a high salary. 

We, therefore, recommend that the next legislature, on the filing of the 
final report of the Commission, make suitable recognition of this service. Mr. 
Myers has given to this committee much of his time, and has placed in our 
hands complete and detailed information as to the affairs of the Commission, 
and has answered, freely and fully, all of our inquiries.

Report of tbc 
Oregon State 
C^omntission 



Mr. Edmond C. Giltner, the secretary of the Commission, has kept a 
Oregon state careful and complete record of all proceedings, and we desire to compliment 
him upon his work and the small expense in his department. His assistant, 
Mr. George 0. Goodall, has not only acted as bookkeeper, but as stenog- 
rapher, and has kept up the correspondence, both of the office and the heads 
of departments, and has evidently done very heavy, steady, and efficient work. 
Mr. F. A. Erixon, superintendent of construction, has done excellent work in 
supervising the construction of all the buildings upon the Lewis and Clark 
Fair Grounds, and a saving of about $8,000 over the regular fees for archi- 
tects has been effected by his employment. 

We find that the Commissioners have given their service, throughout the 
entire work of this Commission, without any consideration, and we can not 
speak too highly of the service of these gentlemen; and we are informed by 
the president that there has never been a special meeting called, or a regular 
meeting, at which there has not always been found a quorum ready at the 
appointed time. The work of the Commissioners has been a great deal more 
than the public could imagine, as they have been obliged to procure a full 
and complete exhibit of Oregon's resources for the St. Louis Exposition, 
construct a building, prepare literature, and all the work required to make 
a full and complete exhibit to advertise the State of Oregon for the Lewis 
and Clark Exposition. In addition, they have had the constructing of prac- 
tically all the buildings upon the Lewis and Clark Fair Grounds, the entire 
arrangement of all exhibits to be made by the State of Oregon at the Lewis 
and Clark Exposition, both State and county, and are preparing to take care 
of all invited guests in behalf of the State at the Exposition. 

We find that all buildings were erected under contracts, based upon the 
lowest bids received, after advertising in several of the leading papers of the 
State, with the exception of the Oregon Building at St. Louis, and the 
material for the Forestry Building at Portland. In the case of the Oregon 
Building at St. Louis, the only bid received was too high, and it was finally 
decided to erect this building by day's labor. Its construction was accom- 
plished at less expense than the bid. 

In erecting the Forestry Building, at Portland, it was necessary to use 
nearly three hundred large logs and about two thousand six hundred fir poles. 
It was essential that all logs and poles should be cut before the sap started, 
so as to preserve the bark intact. This materially increased the difficulty of 
delivery at the site of the building, and separate contracts were made for 
purchase and delivery of this timber, which amounted to nearly 800,000 feet, 
board measure. The prices paid for the logs were from $7 to $9 per thousand 
feet, board measure, which we consider reasonable, under the conditions above 
mentioned. The delivery from the river to the site of the building required 
the erection of a long logway, and the use of a logging engine and cable. The 
amount paid for this service, $5,000, seems to us not excessive, and was over 
$1,000 less than the lowest bid. 

We are informed that all meetings of the Commission have been open to 
the public and press, and that every transaction of the Commission was made 
in this manner. We commend this course, and suggest that this example may 
well be adopted in all public boards and business.

In the matter of erection of the Memorial Building, contemplated by the 
act creating the Commission (see section 7), the State Commission have set 
aside the $50,000 authorized to be expended by it for the purpose, and have 
called the attention of the Lewis and Clark Centennial and American Pacific 
Exposition and Oriental Fair to this, but neither they nor the City of Port- 
land seem to have taken any steps toward the purchase and tender of a 
suitable site, nor made any provision for the $50,000 to be furnished by said 
corporation, nor any action of the council providing for its maintenance, these 
three acts being all conditions precedent to any active work in that direction. 

We find that the committees on education, horticulture, agriculture, for- 
estry, fish and game, and mines and mining, have at the present time a large 
amount of material already prepared for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, 
and will have said exhibits full and complete by the day of the opening of 
the Exposition. 

In view of the fact that the Exposition Commission has kept its expendi- 
tures down to and within the limit of the appropriation, and from the state- 
ment of the balance on hand at this time will be able to complete the entire 
work for the State within the amount appropriated, and considering the 
magnitude of the work which they have handled on behalf of the State, this 
Commission is entitled to great credit. Transportation was secured by the 
officers of the Commission, in many cases, for persons engaged in securing 
exhibits, and in such cases the State received the benefit of this concession. 

At the close of the St. Louis Exposition the Oregon Building was sold for 
$1,000, which was the highest percentage of first cost realized from the sale 
of any State building. Such part of the exhibits, installation, and sundry 
items as could not be used in the Lewis and Clark Fair were sold, and the 
remainder were returned to Portland. The grains and grasses at St. Louis 
were destroyed by weevils, and much of the fruit and perishable exhibits 
were destroyed by freezing, or breakage, and were a total loss. 

We have examined in detail the accounts, vouchers, and contracts of the 
Commission, up to this date, and find that all accounts have been carefully 
examined by the auditing committee and by the Secretary of State, and ap- 
proved by the proper officers; that the funds for St. Louis Fair and the 
Portland Fair, as provided in the act of the legislature, have been carefully 
segregated and the expenditures properly apportioned; that the accounts have 
been accurately kept, and we show the distribution of the various expenditures 
in the tables given below.

The nations of the world, the States of the Union, and manufacturers 
everywhere, are clamoring for space at our fair. People all over the United 
States are anxiously waiting for the event. The transportation companies 
are offering exceptionally low rates during the months while the fair is open. 
This combination of circumstances warrants the belief that travel to the coast 
this summer will be on an unprecedented scale, and that the fair will fully 
satisfy the expectations of those who visit it. Of the many thousands who 
cross the country to see the Exposition, thousands will, after examining the 
country, decide to spend the remainder of their days in this great and growing 
territory. 

The people of our State should use every effort to assist their Commis- 
sioners in procuring for the various departments the best possible exhibit. So 
great and important an event will probably never occur again in the history 
of the present generation. The Lewis and Clark Exposition is not local, but 
offers a great opportunity for every State in the Union to become more closely 
identified with the great oriental trade which is now being opened to the world. 
It gives to the people of this vast country an opportunity to deal directly with 
the greatest population that exists in the world, a people which is adopting 
the more modern methods of government, and which must, within a short 
time, develop in a way that will place them in the front rank of the com- 
mercial countries of the earth. 

The Western States, being most favorably situated with regard to the 
oriental trade, will, no doubt, receive the first opportunity to develop these 
vast resources, and our people should become fully acquainted and informed 
upon these questions, so that they may discuss them in an intelligent and 
truthful manner with the many visitors to the Pacific Coast in the year of 1905. 

We have attached to this report, and marked "Exhibit A," a full list of all 
bids received by the Commission for the construction of buildings in Portland. 

"Exhibit B," attached hereto, shows the present condition of the buildings 
and expenditures upon them.
